Short Final
Overheard in IFR Magazine‘s “On the Air” While cruising through New York’s class B airspace on a busy Friday evening I heard this: Cherokee:“New York departure control, Cherokee One Two Three Four Five off Teterboro: 1,000′ climbing to 3,000′.” New York Departure:“Cherokee One Two Three Four Five, why are you squawking 3012?” [pause] Cherokee:“Umm. I don’t know, sir.” New York Departure:“Cherokee Three Four Five, 3012 is the altimeter setting; you’re supposed to be squawking 4020.” Cherokee:“Roger, New York. Squawking 4020.” Lin Weeksvia e-mail
